Memory
Such a fleeting whisper
Dissolving in the inadequacies
of time
I get close to one
only to see
dissolving revolving shadows
Transfigurations from insolent insolvent thievery
Leaving me blankly blinking
at the empty canvas
that once was my memory

She rose up from the rubble of my memory
Shattered
but whole all the same
I said ‘remember me’
She escaped
rising higher
Taking her haunting smile with her
Merging with a renegade cloud
Leaving me
repairing regrets
in the depths of my memory
09 January 2020 Vista, South Australia
A quiet breeze loosened memory
of when we drifted with a quiet breeze
Nothing else mattered
Nothing else existed
Nothing else would unsettle us
Such a short-lived memory that was
13 January 2020 Vista, South Australia
While floating through a misguided memory
I crashed
like my mate
Humpty Dumpty
All the queen's horses
and all the king's women
Did not have a clue
what to do with me
Leaving me in this unstructured chaos
I happily call my life
24 June 2020 Vista, South Australia
I do so much for your memory
If I could have done a fraction
of all I do
when you were here
Alive you might still be
